SUN PRINCESS against its type
Built in 2024, it is 14 years newer than the median cruise ship on this register, which was built in 2010 (195 vessels with a known build year). It is one of 24 cruise ships here under the Bermuda flag, 11.9% of the 202 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 132 other vessels here, 60 of them cruise ships. Carnival Cruise Line is linked to 18 vessels on this register. The returns for 2024–2025 all give Hamilton as port of registry.
Its 68,123 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.2 times the median of 31,269 t among the 200 cruise ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 1,152.0 kg CO₂, 40% above the type median of 821.3 kg. It logged 3,895 hours at sea against a median of 3,133 hours for its type that year. 12.4% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for cruise ships was 15.1%. Of the 8 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 7 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 3.7% higher than in 2024, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 3.7% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 0.7%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
